New flair policy tweak -- PLEASE Read and help out!

New flair policy tweak -- PLEASE Read and help out! ( pizzagate )

submitted 2018-06-28T05:12:41 by Vindicator

After a year and a half, it suddenly occurred to me that we could enable the ability to search by flair like "New Evidence" and "Swamp Takedown" at https://searchVoat.co very simply by asking submitters whose posts receive a flair to edit the body text to include the name of the flair, since the search engine scrapes the post body for keywords if you enable that option. So, from now on,

Please take a moment to edit your threads to include the name of the flair your post receives whenever you get one.

You can do it for any post that isn't archived. If anyone would care to go through NEW, TOP, and HOT and invite users who received a flair to do so in case they don't see this thread, please jump in and leave comments in their threads! :-) If we work together, we can create a flair search.

As always, please feel free to ping or message mods if you think a submission should be flaired. :-) Also, if you happen to see a flair that needs to be changed to either "Confirmed" or "Debunked", do let us know.

Thanks!

So Vindicator wields the last say in labeling threads. They don't need to be labeled, we don't appreciate you labeling threads. We decide if they are important, valid, disinfo, not the mods.

I just adjusted all my submissions.

Get rid of all the mods and let the subs pic the leaders...or you will continue to control this site.

Save your complaining for another thread. This post is trying to make it easier to search for evidence. If you have a problem with Vindicator's idea offer an alternative, or at the very least give some reasons why you believe he is wrong. Your comment now just sounds like you are bitter over a prior mod decision.

Here's another example of how I get results on search engines .. https://imgur.com/gallery/mDItNOg

Looks like it caught the Comment key word for the flair. Nice!

Does anyone ever just search through search engines ? I say this because , I can usually find any old voat post by putting the name of the user ( @cc1914 ) the subject matter , and the word " voat " . It always brings results . If your looking for a conversation you had with someone on voat , you only have to remember a few words of that conversation, the persons username , your user name and the word " voat " . If this is common knowledge, sorry 😁

So you are saying Google searches Comments? This did not used to work (Google was blocking many search results in the early days). Also, it doesn't work for flairs, apparently, which are actually images.

Cc1914, how would you search to find mod comments noting the application of a flair? I just tried it and couldn't get anything recent to pop up.

Google does that for a whole lot of my searches. Having our own search bar, for this site only, would be better. Like most of us can remember that late night conversation with the person who might not be here, or has changed name.

Well, we had a search bar, but PuttItOut had to removed it because we were DDoSed so badly with it the site couldn't function.

Ooh. Well if I make it big, I'll buy him a better one. Crossing fingers.

Google totally searches comments . That's how I find stuff. All I have to do is remember a little bit about the conversation and something usually always pops up . Not right on top always , sometimes I have to scroll for awhile .
